They basically remade a bunch of old "L&O" episodes in a random order, only with a ton more over-the-top melodrama injected into the stories. Seriously, when it comes to witness stand breakdowns, preachy speeches and scene chewing freakouts, "Law & Order: UK" blows "Law & Order: SVU" out of the water!

I'll rent this. I love the original L&O, but from what few episodes of this I saw, they just copied early episodes of the original show, so there were no surprises. What a letdown, although it is fascinating to get a glimpse into the British Legal System.

I think you'll find that the Target versions contain the same number of episodes as this set. Although the 13 episodes were made in one block as "series one", ITV split them into two shorter blocks for broadcast and then released them in the UK as "series one" and "series two".

This is only the first season, Target had the exclusive Two Season Set which is still available. Most of the episodes are remake from the original series. The guy in leather is a lawyer, that's what the Lawyers in the UK wear (along with wigs) in the courts.

This has been in Tartget since the end of March (3-23-2010). I love this show- better than the US versions of L&O (but I love british crime drama anyway and I'm burned out on L&O episodes long time ago).
